Van hits London mosque. One dead, 10 injured.

DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. June 19, 2017, 6:46 AM (IDT)

Police arrested one person after a van ran over worshippers outside Finsbury Park Mosque in north London early Monday. Police report one dead, 10 people injured.. Witnesses said that three men were in the van and one jumped out armed with a knife and stabbed people. Many of the victims had just left evening prayers at the mosque, one of the biggest in Europe, after breaking the Ramadan fast.

Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
